Spinning dreidle, spinning dreidle,
What will you show to me?
Spinning dreidle, spinning dreidle,
What letter will it be?

Gimel or nun or hey or shin,
Where will you stop when you stop your spin?
Gimel or nun or hey or shin,
Where will you stop when you stop — your spin?

Nun means: I don't lose or win.
Shin means: I put two of mine in.
Hey means: I take half of all.
But, dreidle, please on Gimel fall.
'Cause Gimel means that I — take all!

A miracle happened far away,
It can happen here today.
A single candle burned eight days,
In our hearts the love — can blaze!
